Helena Bonham Carter joining Terminator Salvation?

She’s in talks for “a pivotal role…”

We’d say we’re surprised that Helena Bonham Carter is considering taking a role in the new Terminator film. But with Christian Bale on board and McG directing (plus all those plot rumours), nothing is really surprising us about it at the moment.

So yes, Tim Burton’s muse is negotiating to play what is described as a “pivotal” role, despite it being small. So who do you think she would play? Sarah Connor in a flashback? A female cyborg? Hit the forums and let us know… The Hollywood Reporter is watching the machines.
